DOVER -- Seven schools from throughout NH are participating in this year’s Christmas at The Fells, once the splendid summer home of The Hay family. The Fells Historic Estate and Gardens in Newbury, is transformed into a holiday showcase and open for touring Nov 3, 4 10 and 11 from 10am-3pm.

All are decorating snow figures as part of the Winter Wonderland theme. Pictured is the snow figure by the Dover Middle School sixth grade students, in Mrs. Levin’s Home Room, taught by Mrs. Jo-Ann Gardella, art teacher. The students created art based on the freedoms from the Constitution.

Students were asked to showcase diversity. The characters could be outrageous or represent personal interests using the technique of overlapping to show depth on a two-dimensional surface. Each student has at least one image representing the diverse society that the freedoms of the Constitution provide. 26 students designed the snow figure, which is entitled, “Overlapping Diveristy.” 10 “lunch buddies” painted the Snow figure.
